accepted  for  shipment.

>e  transported  at  less  than  carload  or  any  quantity 
■alings,  must  be  marked  in  accordance  with  the 
ollowing  requirements  and  specifications,  except  as

jportation. 

Section  2.  (a)  Each  package,  bundle  or  lose  piece 
if  freight  must  be  plainly,  legibly  and  durably 
marked  by  brush,  stencil,  marking  crayon  (not 
chalk),  rubber  type,  metal  type,  pasted  label  (see

provides  marks  equally  plain,  legible  and  durable, 
showing  the  name  of  the  consignee,  and  of  town  or 
city  and  state  to  which  destined.

f When  consigned  to  a place  not  located  on  the

j When  consigned  “To  Order,”  it  must  be  so  marked 
and  further  marked  with  an  identifying  symbol  or 
number  which  must  be  shown  in  shipping  order  and

Note  2.  Tags  must  be  made  of  metal,  leather, 
cloth  or  rope  stock  or  sulphite  fibre  tag  board,  suf- 
ficiently strong  and  durable  to  withstand  the  wear 
and  tear  incident  to  transportation;  and 

When  such  cloth  or  board  tag  is  tied  to  any  bag, 
bale,  bundle  or  piece  of  freight,  it  must  be  securely 
attached  through  a reinforced  eyelet. 

Tags  used  to  mark  wooden  pieces  or  wooden  con- 
tainers must  be  fastened  at  all  corners  and  center 
with  large-headed  tacks  or  tag  fasteners;  or 

Tags  may  be  tied  to  wooden  pieces  when  the 
freight  would  be  injured  by  the  use  of  tacks  or  tag 
fasteners. 

Tags  tied  to  bags,  bales,  bundles  or  pieces  must 
be  securely  attached  by  strong  cord  or  wire,  except 
that  when  tied  to  bundles  or  pieces  of  metal,  they 
must  be  securely  attached  by  strong  wire  or  strong 
tarred  cord. 

(b)  A shipment  that  fully  occupies  the  visible 
capacity  of  a car,  or  that  weighs  24,000  lbs.  or  more,

in  one  day,  by  one  shipper  for  delivery  to  one  con- 
signee at  one  destination,  need  not  be  marked. 

(c)  The  marks  on  bundles,  packages  or  pieces 
must  be  compared  with  the  shipping  order  or  bill 
of  lading,  and  corrections,  if  necessary,  made  by  the 
shipper  or  his  representative  before  receipt  is  signed. 

(d)  Old  consignment  marks  must  be  removed  or 
effaced. 

(e)  Freight  in  excess  of  full  cars,  except  where 
such  excess  is  the  result  of  carrier’s  failure  to  fur- 
nish car  ordered  by  shipper  (see  Rule  7),  must  be 
marked  as  required  for  less  than  carload  freight.
